Putin stated multiple times that Russia is the only country today that would go in a full blown war to protect israel, lets not forget that more than a million people live in Israel whom are Russian expats many hold dual citizenship, Putin stated that everybody who wants to hurt them are freegame for the Russian military.
Putin supports Syria against the US. backed rapist cannibal headchopping jihadists, they are trained, funded and armed by the US. UK and the saudis, its not even a secret its public info, its an ongoing genocide against the Syrian people killing them in the most brutal way, the only thing that saved them sofar is their willing to fight the enemy and the Russian and Iranian support against the jihadists.
Syria was, is a secular country just like Lybia was, both destroyed by the jihadists with western support, so you have to ask yourself who commits more crime Russia? aiding a secular dictator who tries to save his country or the US. and EU leadership who destroys and genocides whole countries with their armies or with proxies in the most brutal way.
There are many christians and jewish people and shiets being genocided in Syria and Iraq and also in Lybia, so while Russia tries to save them the US. UK and saudis do the exact opposite.
I think Im right when I assume that you side with those whom want to save these people, that would be Russia and Putin.
Thanks for reading.

Now all that misses is that Russia becomes an ally with Israel and I’ll dump Obamas US like a hot potato. I like Putin, I just wish he would make a solid stand and commitment toward supporting Israel and stop supporting mohammedan terrorist nations. What good have mohammedans ever done for Russia?

You cant shoot what you cant see, all new gen of Russian planes are and will be equipped with plasma stealth tech, look it up before bashing.
Its more economical and faster to transport this way, look at the Airbus A380 the biggest and most advanced passanger jet in production follows the same philosophy or the super heavy transports like the An124 and 225 or the C5 Galaxy.
Russians already have that type of air defense its called the S400 Triumph:)
The latest gen of Patriot missiles are even inferior when compared tot he S300, so much to that.

Why would any military put so much inventory inside one cargo container? Ego is a weakness.
